Looking to get a parts washing cabinet

Thanks for the review. How many gallons should I get for a 40 gallon tank?[/QUOTE]

I think my parts washer is 20 gallons and I use 10 gallons of solvent. You want the level to be just below the shelf, if there is one in your washer.
 
It just came in today. I like the idea of setting it on a cradle & putting casters on it. When I put it together tomorrow, I'll take stock of what I need.

:thumbsup:
 
A parts washer is one piece of equipment that once you have one, you think… How did I ever get by without one. Same thing with a blast cabinet.

Got it assembled this evening. I'm going to get some angle stock and casters so I can roll it around. I'm pretty happy with it except for the obvious.

Everything is made in China!!!! :rolleyes:
 
There are several USA manufacturers for parts washers, but unfortunately mainly for large, industrial purposes.
 
A hammer and dolly and a sander will take that china right off there.
 
Got some angle iron, a pair of fixed wheels and a pair of casters.....

I dumped in 10 gallons of the cleaning solution that I got from Tractor Supply & I'll give the acid test once I shake this head cold. I'm beat after fabricating that up. The solution smells like mineral spirits.

Scored this at a local yard sale for 50 bucks today too....

Wonder if your going to be kicking that front bar? If that's a flat bar or angle iron you could move it back 3" and bolt to the angle iron. Can't see if casters are mounted to front bar. Kitchen cabinets and bath vanitys have kick panels for your toesy's.:D

If it's an issue, I'll get out the band saw and cut it off.
 


The big gloves and vinyl shop apron (from the guy in the video) are a must. Putting cardboard down on the floor in front of it to keep any spray from getting on the floor is recommended. I'm fortunate that I have an endless supply of 4' X 8' sheets from work.

Got a fire extinguisher nearby? Solve + cardboard = fire.

I was thinking about one of those industrial rubber mats since I stand there for long periods washing parts.
